I also use the 65% beads in my cigar cabinets along with the accumonitor. Helps in the summer months.

I try to keep mine around 63 or 64. My problem is that I like to open up my humi too much and have trouble keeping it stable.

i voted 64% but 64-65% is what i like best.

when i started out, i was shooting for 68% but dropping back a little bit (seemingly) gives me better results.

IMHO 70% is way too much for smoking, i think you'll have probs. there but for storage only, i think its fine.

I'd really rather avoid anything lower than 62-63%.

65 but sometimes the cooler says other wise. Usually a bit lower 63, 64 if any fluctuation. Those beads rock!

I keep them at 64-65% humidity and no higher than 70 degrees in temp.

My cigars are kept in the humi on the lower level of my house it is nice and cool in the summer months and of course in the winter the heat maintains a good temp as well.

I never have a burn problem and I think it is due to the 65% humidity my cigars are kept at.

I use 70% beads in my cooler-dor. That keeps it between 65-70%. It stays in my bedroom, which is between 59 and 65 degrees, and is great for long-term storage, which is what the cooler is generally for.

In my humidor, I use a 50-50 combination of 65% and 70% beads.

I check them with a hygrometer every once in a while, but with beads I just do not stress over humidity. If the cigars consistently feel right every night, no need to worry.
